By understanding everything you perceive from the perspective of the view, you are freed from the constraints of philosophical beliefs.By understanding that any and all mental activity is meditation, you are freed from arbitrary divisions between formal sessions and postmeditation activity.- Longchen Rabjam -

friend of mine is currently in his second 3 year retreat here. doesn't get more kagyu than samye ling . they locked down the men's retreat last october, so they're coming up on a year. i don't think they run them concurrently, either, so this might not be an option for another two years at least.

I don't know anything about processs of being accepted there, though.

You have to apply either to Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche personally or to Polish Lama Rinchen who will then talk to Rinpoche about it. The next retreat starts in 2013. Kyabje Tenga Rinpoche and Kyabje Sangye Nyenpa Rinpoche give all the Wangs and Lama Rinchen and Lama Mingyur Sönam are the Drubpöns of the retreat.Its the leasr expensive 3 year retreat I know about in Europe.
